The dusty blue color of this backing layer has become my new favorite wedding color. It is so soft and delicate while still adding interest to an invitation, a bridesmaid dress, a tablescape...and so on. These custom wedding invitations for Pina and James used just enough of of the blue to be a beautiful accent for their June wedding. But this beautiful backing layer wasn't an ordinary backing layer...it was a back pocket that housed the response card, response envelope, reception card, ... Read the Post
Custom Wedding Invitations for Pina & James
Debra & Steven’s Lasercut Wedding Invitations
In the middle of our initial consultation, Steven mentioned with great pride that Debra had amazing handwriting. She learned from a White House calligrapher! Of course, we had to use her own handwriting for their names on this invitation. We begin with a beautiful navy blue shimmer lasercut pocket. Inside, was a pocket holding a luster silver card printed in navy thermography. It was such a joy to create something truly personal for Debra & Steven! What ... Read the Post
Carin and Mike’s Lasercut Wedding Stationery
Carin was just the absolute sweetest! We worked together in my favorite way ("From the first save-the-date, to the last thank you note") and what a fun paper trail we left!

The baroque embellishments in the corners gave a bit of a vintage ... Read the Post
Jane & Michael’s Silver Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Jane & Michael met with me to discuss a custom invitation design when they couldn't find anything online that really suited their wedding. After seeing some samples of other custom work, they selected a fun "back pocket" style card in wine and some stunning textured silver paper and then let me play! Adding a little inset curve to the corners of the border gave it just a little "pizazz". Mixing a pretty, traditional serif font with a contemporary and sleek script really helped ... Read the Post
Hayley & Richard’s Foil Stamped Wedding Invitations
This project was special! It was such a privilege to create a custom invitation for the daughter of a friend. Hayley and her mom both have great taste and our appointment was a fun session of quick decisions. She liked some elements from each of 3 different designs, and it was fun to put them together into one beautiful design. Three shades of gray with a subtle pop of metallic blush worked so very well together, but the highlight of this design is definitely their names in a pretty ... Read the Post
